What is art, where can I find it, and once I’m in front of it, what should I think about? Kate Bryan is a self-confessed art enthusiast who has worked with art for over twenty years. But before studying art history at university, she had only been to a gallery twice in her life and had no idea she was entering an elitist world.

Now, she is on a mission to help everyone engage with art. Just like playing or listening to music, cooking and enjoying great food, reading or watching films, making art or viewing others’ work, art should be an enriching part of all our lives.

So here, in HOW TO ART, is a clever way to experience art on your own terms. From where it is and what it is, to tips on how to truly enjoy famous artworks like the Mona Lisa, how to own art and create art at home, to essential advice for pursuing an art career and even how to make your dog more cultural, How to Art makes art accessible to everyone and fun to explore.

Throughout, it features original artworks by the very approachable artist David Shrigley.
